Sakura Koi Watercolors; 1 of 6: Elizabeth

Deep pools of aquamarine, ruby red and citrus orange (just to mention a few) are being splashed around the Studio. Come jump in with us and get inky as we explore the wonderful palette of Sakura Koi Watercolors.

Today I am jumping in the pool of watercolors with two approaches. One is traditional and the second is abstract.

The fashion girl (Penny Black - 4391K Dressed to Impress) was done in a traditional approach. After stamping the image on watercolor paper in Onyx Black VersaFine and heating embossing with clear powder, the Koi watercolors were applied with a paintbrush. A second dress overlay was created for added dimension.

The second approach was more abstract. Clear gesso was pounced on the cityscape die cut (Penny Black - 51-017 Downtown) and (after drying) the die cut was "smooshed" into a puddle of blue Koi watercolor that I created on my craft sheet.
